Consider the knowledge your audience has about the subject so you can tailor your terminology and balance background information and analysis.
Most readers first skim an article to orient themselves, decide whether or not to read the article, and select the sections of greatest interest (make the abstract, intro, conclusion, and figures tell the main points of the story).
Keep in mind your secondary audience – readers outside your field of work. This will help increase the accessibility of your work.
Follow standard grammatical rules for written English.
“When \(x<0\), then \(f(x)\) is strictly increasing.”
“When \(x\) is less than 0, then \(f\) of \(x\) is strictly increasing.”
Suppose that three quantities \(x, y\), and \(z\) are related in the form:
\[f(x) + g(y) = h(z).\]
Here \(x\) and \(y\) could be the height and girth of the donkey, and \(z\) could be its weight. The functions \(f\), \(g\), and \(h\), are monotonic (i.e., always increasing or always decreasing).
$ for inline math and $$ for a new line.When a fraction is written in-line, we use \((x+y)/(y+z)\), and when displayed, we express it in its tall form as
\[\frac{x+y}{y+z}.\]
\[\begin{align*} x&=a+b+c\\ &<f \end{align*}\]
